LETTER OF THE DAY

Although I don’t agree with former City Manager Bob Wynn and his

stance on Measure T, I do respect him for having the guts to state his

position on the issues that affect the citizens of Newport Beach.

But Tom Thomson? What kind of weak-kneed, political double talkis

flowing from this guys’ lips?

It’s one thing to be diplomatic, but it’s another thing altogether to

talk and not say anything. Mr. Congenial on the City Council has shown in

the past that he is an affable person who changes his positions on the

issues depending on which way the wind is blowing and has the innate

ability to vote on issues differently than how he projects himself at

council meetings.

Maybe this is a commentary on politics in general, but I for one am

sick and tired (and I’m not going to take it anymore!) of these types of

“politicians” and would like to see individuals give of themselves

dedicated public service with conviction, without special interest

backing, to their communities.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
